Went to the State Library's book sale "here all weekend" in Kalgoorlie. Opens later on ANZAC Day. [Dawn Service maybe for us.]
The choice does not seem as wonderful as last time, needs thoughtful picking over. Also you need to go over the three days as new 'stock' is put out each day.

Hi T,
you could probably sell the Gardner's Art for a profit! or hire it out to the students?
Did you spend too much?

Hi K - spent far too much on the 'good non fiction" should have stuck to the fiction, much cheaper.

Hi Teresa,
I noticed you were a fan of LibraryThing and I thought I'd contact you about a article I've recently put together about cataloging software I'd like to call: The Ultimate Guide to Cataloging Software.
Could you take a gander when you get the chance, maybe give me a plug if you like it;)
